X-T30 RAWs, in the films the X-T30 II got
The X-T30 has the X-T3's sensor in a small body, and the same gap in its films: no Classic Neg. The X-T30 II fixed that; your original X-T30 RAWs can catch up in RAF Film Lab, on Mac, iPad and iPhone.
How do I edit X-T30 RAW files?
The X-T30 shares the X-T3's 26.1 MP back-illuminated X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4. Its RAFs are uncompressed or lossless compressed and open in RAF Film Lab through Apple's RAW engine, each in the simulation you shot.
It's a small camera people carry everywhere, so its libraries tend to be big and mixed. Browse by film simulation in the sidebar to gather every Acros or Classic Chrome frame, then copy one edit across the set.

New to your X-T30: 4 more
Classic Neg and Eterna Bleach Bypass came with the X-T30 II; Nostalgic Neg and Reala Ace came later. RAF Film Lab renders all four on X-T30 RAWs.
Our films were measured on the X100VI. Apple applies the X-T30's own colour matrix when it reads the RAW, so the films carry over, but we haven't published a score for this sensor yet. How we measure.
Can the X-T30 develop its own RAWs over USB?
X RAW STUDIO supports the X-T30, so RAF Film Lab can send a RAF to the camera over USB for an in-camera develop. Current firmware calls the setting CONNECTION MODE; early firmware called it PC CONNECTION MODE.
- Press MENU/OK and open SET UP (the wrench tab), then CONNECTION SETTING.
- Set CONNECTION MODE to USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE.
- Connect the X-T30 to your Mac or USB-C iPad with a data cable and turn it on.
Camera render is optional. The camera only develops RAWs it shot itself.

Tips for X-T30 files
- Classic Neg on everyday colour is the quickest way to make an X-T30 RAW look like an X-T30 II JPEG.
- Use the subject mask on street portraits. It finds the person on device, so you can lift them without lifting the background.
- Acros + Ye is a gentle default for black and white street work.
- Rate with 0 to 5 on the Mac keyboard, then filter to your best before syncing.
X-T30 questions
Can I add Classic Neg to X-T30 photos?
Yes. The X-T30 never received Classic Neg by firmware, but RAF Film Lab renders it on X-T30 RAWs.
Does RAF Film Lab support the original X-T30?
Yes. The X-T30, X-T30 II and X-T30 III are all on Apple's RAW list for macOS 26, iPadOS 26 and iOS 26.
What's the difference between X-T30 and X-T30 II RAWs?
The sensor and processor are the same. The X-T30 II added Classic Neg, Eterna Bleach Bypass and compressed RAW. In RAF Film Lab both get all 20 films.
Does the X-T30 work with camera render?
Yes. X RAW STUDIO's release notes add the X-T30, and RAF Film Lab uses the same USB RAW CONV. mode.
